Introducing the keto burger in a bowl!
Savor the flavor and skip the bun!
My favorite thing about these keto burgers in a bowl is that the bacon is cooked inside, so it’s not sliding around while you’re eating it. Plus, it really gives the ground beef added flavor.
Tips for making the best keto burger in a bowl:
-
- Feel free to use any bowl, soda can, or glass to form your burger bowl. I like to use ramekins when making my burger bowls.
-
- Add a band of aluminum foil around your burger bowl to help it keep its shape and stay intact while cooking.
-
- I used 80/20 ground beef for my burger bowls, but you can use whatever type of ground beef you prefer. I like using a fattier option of ground beef when making a keto recipe.

- If you love Big Macs from McDonald’s, consider whipping up a batch of our special sauce and adding it to the top.

Your burger, your way!
There’s nothing more I love than a loaded burger, so I throw in sautéed onions, mushrooms, bacon, and cheese while it’s cooking. When it’s done, I top it with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and sometimes I’ll even throw a fried egg on top! The possibilities are endless.
I think next time I’ll make a taco burger and load it with olives, taco sauce, and a scoop of guac! Now I’m really getting hungry! 😋

Here’s what my teammate Jenna had to say after making keto burgers in a bowl:
“Okay, I know every week I call out something as my favorite, but THIS is officially my favorite recipe of all time! Not only was it so flavorful, but it was also so FUN to make! I love that you can customize with your favorite toppings and there are so many ideas I have that I can’t wait to try. Not only was I a big fan of this recipe, but every single kid in this house also cleaned their plates and asked for it again the next night! That’s a win in my book!”
That is freaking brilliant !👍
Aww, Yay! SO glad you’re loving this idea! Thanks for the sweet feedback! 🤗🙌
